Johannesburg is ready to put its best foot forward as thousands of residents and visitors prepare to take to the streets for the 702 Jozi My Jozi Walk the Talk on Sunday, 26 July 2026. After being hosted in Tshwane and Mogale City in recent years, the beloved event is making a welcome return to its original home – the vibrant streets of Johannesburg. The return promises to reignite the unique energy that has made Walk the Talk one of the city's most anticipated community events.

Participants can choose from 5km, 8km and 15km routes, offering people of all ages and fitness levels the opportunity to explore Johannesburg from a different perspective. From iconic landmarks and bustling streets to the city's distinctive skyline, walkers will experience the heartbeat of Jozi while celebrating the city's rich heritage, diversity and resilience.

More than just a walk, the event is a celebration of community, wellness and civic pride. Families, friends, colleagues and fitness enthusiasts will come together to reclaim the streets, embrace an active lifestyle and showcase the spirit that makes Johannesburg one of Africa's most dynamic cities.

Participants will also have an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by purchasing Mi-change blockchain vouchers, which support organisations providing meals, shelter, clothing and other essential services to people experiencing homelessness.

As excitement builds ahead of Sunday's event, organisers are encouraging everyone to lace up their walking shoes, wear their brightest colours and be part of an unforgettable day of movement, connection and celebration.

Whether you're chasing a personal fitness goal, spending quality time with loved ones or simply soaking up the electric atmosphere, the 2026 702 Jozi My Jozi Walk the Talk promises something for everyone.

This Sunday, Joburg's streets belong to its people once again. Join thousands of fellow residents as the city comes alive in a powerful celebration of health, unity and the unmistakable spirit of Jozi.
